Daniel Ricciardo has offered his first reaction ෴to losing his F1 drive.

His tওeam, RB, have confirmed that Ricciardo will be replaced by Liam Lawson will immediate effect.

Ricciardo has no contract for 2025 an💃d his ꦜFormula 1 career, which started 14 years ago, appears to have abruptly ended.

“I’ve loved this sport my whole life," Rꦦicciardo rea🌄cted.

“It’s wild and wonderful and been a journey.

“To t🏅he teams and indi💛viduals that have played their part, thank you. 

"To the fans who love🌺 the sport sometimes more than me haha thank yo🥂u.

“It’ll always have its highs and lows but it’s been fun and truth be told I wouldn’t change it.&nbsꩲp;

"Until the next adventure.”

Ricciardo drove for HRT, Toro Ro🌳sso, Red Bull, Renault, McLaren and RB.

He initi൲ally lost his F1 place two years ago when McLaren replaced him with Oscar Piastri.

But a mid-season comeback at AlphaTauri last year was ꦉimpressive, and enough to hold off Lawson for a full-time race seat this year.

But now the neꦅws that Ricciardo feared at last weekend's Singapore Grand Prix is confirmed.

He exits F1 after 257 race starts, three p✃ole positions and 𒀰eight wins.

Lawson will first drive for RB, alongside Yuki Tsunoda, at the United State𝓡s Grand Prix.
